Hybrid Martial Arts are a martial arts club based in Bridge Street, Dundalk for the past five years.

The have been busy competing across Ireland and the UK since January this year and felt it time for a bit of a write up for the guys if you would kindly publish.

They hit the ground running in January when we competed at the TMA Open in Tallaght. Next up was the Battle of The North in Derry in February.

The third competition of the year was in the UK at The Peterborough Championship Series in March and most recently the Kickboxing Ireland National Championships where a number of their students gained a place on the KBI Irish Team, which is the only Sport Ireland recognised body for kickboxing in Ireland.

One student claimed his first National Title at seven years old. From total beginners getting their first taste of competition to their more seasoned competitors, what a start to the year they have all had.

All competitors have shown progression and smashed so many performance goals this year to date taking a number of podium places as a result.

Although they are a small non-profit club, through relentless dedication, accountability, a great team and a clear vision of where they want to be they are progressing steadily year after year.

They work hard to maintain our full-time studio in Bridge Street and train on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. New members are always welcome. Beginner to Elite.
